Not a lot to sat right now.  I was worried a little because of my tight hamstring issues, but that ened up not being the only issue.  Greg and I up there and it was a less organized start to say the least.  Not enough potties and the lines were long!  Didn't get a good wam up, infact I was lucky to get .25 miles before the race, which is bad for me since it takes me a while to get going.  I started off tight and slower, but started hitting 5:50s and averaged close to that all the way down and out of the canyon.  It was a very rolling course!  Up and dow and up and down the whole way.  Not my favorite thing since I am a rhythm runner.  At just after 9 miles me and aother guy got sent straight on the old course instead of turning left.  A car came after me and told me to turn around, the other guy kept going.  I turned around and only lost about 3 minutes.  Geg was just turning so I ran with him and vented and then eventually pulled away a bit, but never got going and didn't catch half the people that got ahead of me from my missing the turn.  Momentum gone!  Anyway I salaved a 1:20:09 still with a jacked up hammy and 3 minute wrong way venture.  

Not a bad race, but not well done eithe.  The awards took forever!  Ben killed it today and PR'd big on a not very fast course.  Riley  won with an impressive as usual race and Just had a solid 4th place.  Glad to see guys like that do well.  Greg ran 1:21 and did great too!

I watched this race and I didn't see you. Sorry about the wrong turn that truly stinks. A solid effort though.
